{{quotebox-float|“Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground,” his legal team says. “One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”}}

Ziminski is heard and seen in multiple videos shouting, "Get him!" to Anthony Huber, Gaige Grosskreuz, and Maurice Freeland, who was referred to as "jump kick man" in the trial. The trio were among several Antifa/Black Lives Matter terrorists who assaulted Rittenhouse with intent to cause grave bodily injury or harm shortly after Rittenhouse told Grosskreuz he was running to the police to surrender himself after the self-defense shooting of JoJo Rosenbaum. Ziminski, a key conspirator in the incitement of the Kenosha riots and a material fact witness, was never called to testify in the Rittenhouse trial.  It was Ziminski who fired the first shot behind Rittenhouse seconds before Rittenhouse turned to see JoJo Rosenbaum lunging for his weapon. Several witnesses, as well as video tape evidence, show Ziminski and Rosenbaum working together to commit multiple felonious acts of arson to private property throughout the evening.

Kenosha Police recommended charging Ziminski with: Felony 2nd Degree Reckless Engendering Safety; Disorderly Conduct; Obstructing/Resisting Officer; and Bail Jumping.  The Kenosha DA dropped the most serious charges which could have carried a 20 year sentence upon conviction, and only charged Zaminski with disorderly conduct.<ref>http://kenoshacountyeye.com/2020/10/14/mystery-shooter-during-kyle-rittenhouse-incident-identified-and-charged-da-dismisses-most-charges-almost-immediately/</ref>  The bail-jumping charge would have been the easiest to prove. He was currently out on a $500 cash bond in Racine for Domestic Battery after hitting his wife in the face in a moving vehicle with his two children in the backseat.  According to Zaminski's 31-page rap-sheet he has arrests including: Reckless Endangering Safety, Robbery-Use of Force, Bail Jumping, Violate Restraining Order, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Possession of Switchblade, Domestic Battery, Hit and run, and much more.<ref>http://www.kenoshacountyeye.com/ziminski.pdf</ref>
